WATCH: Dodgy car deals laid bare with View 4 You

Malcolm Cavie and Simphiwe Mabuza, from South African car assessment company View 4 You, are uncovering the truth behind deceptive used car sales. The team uses specialized electronic equipment that connects directly to a car's electronic control units to verify crucial details about a vehicle's history. This includes checking for odometer tampering, hidden damage, and accident repairs.

View 4 You's thorough inspections have earned the company a reputation for honesty and impartiality, despite being banned from some dealerships due to their unyielding honesty. Cavie, a trained engineer, started the business after helping friends evaluate potential purchases and realizing the lack of knowledge most people have when buying a car or house.

He believes that the most powerful tool a consumer can have is the ability to walk away from a deal when something doesn't feel right. View 4 You also offers property assessments, and their work has helped clients like Anuschka, who were able to secure a refund and a replacement vehicle after View 4 You exposed the true condition of a car they had purchased.
